Knee replacement surgery typically involves replacing three parts of the knee. But in some cases, surgeons only need to replace one part. This surgery is called “unicompartmental” knee replacement. Drs. Kevin Garvin, Beau Konigsberg and Curtis Harman explain how partial knee replacement works, who is a candidate for such surgery and what the recovery is like.

www.oginski-law.com A woman went to have a uni-compartmental knee replacement, and immediately upon waking from surgery was in extreme pain in the back of her knee. Despite the orthopedist’s reassurances that everything was fine, and that physical therapy would solve her problem, the pain continued for the next four months. Follow-up x-rays revealed that the original hardware was not put in the correct position during the original surgery. As a result, this patient had to undergo corrective surgery to remove all of the hardware and then put in a total knee replacement to fix the problem. The tragedy was that this was totally preventable if an x-ray had been taken during surgery. Watch the video to learn more.

If a patient’s joint is mostly free from arthritis or displays minimal symptoms, Patello Femoral Replacement can provide pain relief and improve mobility. The procedure replaces the back of the patella and the front of the femur (thigh bone), and still allows patients to undergo total knee replacement at a later date if necessary. The Webcast will feature live Internet transmission of the procedure, as well as interviews with Department Chair Charles Cassidy, MD, and other members of Tufts Medical Center’s Orthopedics and Physical Therapy staff.
